Tears
My eyes are swollen from my tears
My heart is shattered from my fears
The dark, it creeps in
And eats my light
I melt to tears every night
My eyes are red, my lips are dry
My life, my thoughts
They make me cry
My breathing shortens
My chest constricted
Every night
My dreams are twisted
My eyes are heavy
I’m out of breath
All I smell
Is the stench of death?
I find my light
I feel its heat
Tonight I know
I’ll be able to sleep
And then I know
Against my will
The cycle begins
And tomorrow I weep
